Like many children of immigrants, she has often found herself plagued by questions: Can I establish my own values \u003ci\u003eand \u003c\/i\u003eembrace where I come from? Is prioritizing my mental health really rejecting my culture? How do I set boundaries and care for myself when family and community mean everything? Even after becoming a therapist herself, she saw those same gaps in the mental health world, leading her to wonder, like so many children of immigrants: what about us? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile conversations around mental health are becoming increasingly open, our models remain largely Eurocentric and focused on individuality. Sahaj has sought to challenge these long-held models, using deep personal reflection, therapy, community building, and a whole lot of trial and error, eventually navigating her own way to understanding and acceptance. Here, she shows us how to get there, all the while reminding us that personal healing is inextricably connected to collective healing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBut What Will People Say?\u003c\/i\u003e elegantly weaves together personal narrative, anecdotal analysis, and comprehensive research. Sahaj offers advice and tools for everything from navigating generational trauma, guilt, and boundaries, to breaking down stigmas around therapy and celebrating cultural duality. Democratizing and decolonizing the way we think about mental health and self-help, Sahaj's incredible work is nothing short of a revolution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sahaj Kaur Kohli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 059349119X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593491195\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Life\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/07\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.30w x 1.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/26\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2024 pg. 8","brand":"Sahaj Kaur Kohli","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44522711744767,"sku":"9780593491195","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_93c65773-78b8-4796-b331-9a0bbf06eb8b.jpg?v=1700158610","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/but-what-will-people-say-sahaj-kaur-kohli-9780593491195","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
